Críticas:

In this deeply personal novel of exile and loneliness, Janet Frame proves the master of nostalgia, beauty, and loss. Frame is, and will remain, divine (Alice Sebold)

A reminder of why Frame was nominated for the Nobel Prize. Quite simply, she's a stunning writer (DOMINION POST (New Zealand))

*'Hopefully, Towards Another Summer will incite an overdue re-evaluation of Frame's compelling and unconventional artistry (THE AUSTRALIAN)

Sometimes when you begin reading a book you realise immediately that you are in good hands. Janet Frame's name on the cover is a promise of this (CANBERRA TIMES)

Reseña del editor:

The Southern Cross cuts through my heart instead of through the sky'

Grace Cleave is spending a weekend away from London, where she has been battling with writer's block. But on holiday in the north of England she feels more and more like a migratory bird as the pull of her native New Zealand makes life away from it seem transitory. Grace longs to find her own place in the world - if she can only decide where that is. But first she must learn to be comfortable in her own skin, feathers and all.

From the author of An Angel at My Table comes an exquisitely written novel of exile and return, homesickness and belonging. Written in 1963 when Janet Frame was living in London, this is the first publication of a novel she considered too personal to be published in her lifetime.
